This episode is the second in a three-episode series on birth control. In Season 1, experts shared interesting views on how one should view birth control to support their health and lifestyle needs, so I wanted to dig further. The series covers an MD view as well as an innovation in birth control.
In this second episode of the series, we hear from Nicole Jardim, a Certified Women’s Health Coach, writer, speaker, mentor, and the creator of Fix Your Period, a series of programs that empower women to reclaim their hormone health.
In this episode, Nicole Jardim responds with her perspectives on birth control and statements made during my interview with Dr Sophia Yen.
